How do I contact the shelter about Gołota?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gołota on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gołota if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Gołota already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Gołota isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gołota and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (PL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Gołota

Mixed Breed · Male

Diet and health issues will be discussed during the adoption process. Gołota is a feral kitten, whose life has clearly taken its toll – he looks much older than his age suggests. Despite this, he is a very balanced and friendly cat. He loves coming in for meals and bravely endures grooming procedures like brushing. He doesn’t do a great job of grooming himself, so it’s worth giving him a little help sometimes. While he won’t groom himself, he will happily do it for a passing cat, a good Samaritan indeed. 😉 As for what else Gołota enjoys doing? Going out for walks and observing what’s happening in the world! He is usually calm and slightly dreamy, and when he feels the need to breathe in fresh air, he sits in front of the doors and loudly signals his desires. It’s heartbreaking when he has to stay inside due to the weather outside. And then try to get him back inside! Despite his love for observing the world from the outside, Gołota is looking for a home where he can do this from a secured balcony or an outdoor enclosure. One incident in his life is one too many.

PL·Show original

Kwestie żywieniowe i zdrowotne będą omawiane w trakcie adopcji. Gołota to kot powypadkowy, po którym widać jak życie go poturbowało – wygląda dużo starzej, niż wskazuje na to jego wiek. Mimo tego jest bardzo zrównoważonym i chętnym do kontaktu kotem. Uwielbia przychodzić na mizianie i dzielnie znosi zabiegi pielęgnacyjne, takie jak czesanie. Niezbyt dobrze idzie mu mycie się samemu, dlatego warto je czasem zastosować. Choć sam siebie nie wyliże, to chętnie zrobi to dla przechodzącego obok kota, dobry samarytanin z niego. 😉 A co poza tym lubi robić Gołota? Wychodzić na wolierę i obserwować co tam się dzieje na tym świecie! Zazwyczaj spokojny, lekko śnięty, gdy poczuje potrzebę odetchnięcia świeżym powietrzem, to siada przed drzwiami i głośno sygnalizuje swoje pragnienia. Aż żal ściska, gdy musi zostać w środku, ze względu na panującą na zewnątrz pogodę. A spróbujcie go potem ściągnąć z powrotem do środka! Jednak mimo jego miłości do obserwowania świata z zewnątrz, Gołota szuka domu, w którym będzie mógł to robić z zabezpieczonego balkonu, czy woliery. Jeden wypadek w życiu, to o jeden za dużo.

About Gołota

What life with Gołota looks like

Gołota is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.
